WP1 - Exchange of AQ forecasts and input data
Identify problems related to both observational and model data and their exchange in near real time
Major areas and key tasks:
- Identification of requirements for data exchange (all kinds of data needed for CWF)
- Investigation of infrastructure needed to meet the identified demands.
Deliverables:
- Catalogue of available forecast data with characteristics (resolution, domain, frequency, etc) in different European countries.
- A list of input variables, meta-data and quality information to be kept in databases.
- Assessment of measurement data (including satellite data) necessary for model validation and assimilation in cooperation with WP2.
- Specification of harmonized data format and exchange protocol for CW forecast data
- Recommendations for infrastructure needed to handle the NRT data exchange, storage and processing
